Haha, totally agree on the defensive driving course—did mine last year and felt like I was back in driver's ed (minus the acne and awkwardness). A few hours of cheesy videos later, my wallet thanked me. Another little gem: some insurers actually give you a break if your car is garaged regularly. My classic Mustang appreciates the pampering anyway... might as well get paid for it, right?

Haha, that's a nice perk for sure. Another little-known tidbit for Delaware drivers: some insurers quietly factor in your annual mileage. If you're mostly a weekend cruiser and keep the miles low (like I assume you do with that Mustang), you might snag a discount. It's not always advertised upfront, but it's worth mentioning to your agent—especially if your car spends more time looking pretty in the garage than hitting the road.
Also, if you've upgraded your vehicle with any security devices or anti-theft systems, let them know. Insurers love anything that reduces risk, and those little upgrades can shave a bit off your premium. It won't be a huge chunk, but every bit counts, right?
And speaking of cheesy defensive driving videos—I feel your pain. I had to sit through one myself recently, and while it wasn't exactly thrilling cinema, saving some cash made the awkward flashbacks worthwhile.
Good call on the mileage thing—I didn't even realize that until I casually mentioned my low annual miles to my agent. Ended up saving a bit. Those defensive driving vids though...painful but worth it, haha.

Haha, seriously, those videos are brutal—I remember zoning out halfway through mine. But hey, saved enough to cover a nice dinner out. Anyone tried bundling home and auto here in DE? Curious if it's actually worth the hassle.
Bundling home and auto worked pretty well for me here in DE—saved enough to finally splurge on some chrome detailing for my '67 Mustang. But honestly, comparing quotes was a bit tedious...anyone noticed if classic cars complicate the bundling discounts?
